Program Costs

The United States Department of Education requires colleges to disclose a variety of information about Title IV diploma and certificate programs that “prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation.” While this information is calculated the same for all colleges with Title IV eligible diploma and certificate programs, and is accurate, it can be misleading for a variety of reasons. The rates do not represent the success rates of the entire population at Southeastern Technical College (STC), nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after the tracking period.

The Gainful Employment graduation rate is calculated on a very small percentage of the total STC population (typically less than 15%). It consists only of students who entered STC as a first-time, full-time student a specific Fall term and was tracked as part of that cohort. If a program has less than 10 graduates in this cohort, they are not listed in the Gainful Employment regulations to protect the privacy of those students. Similarly, the job placement information does not calculate the full employment of STC graduates. It only calculates those students in this cohort, in these Title IV eligible programs.
